Robbers Fire Animal Evacuations

The Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn is the primary shelter location for animals. Horses, small livestock such as goats and sheep, dog, cats, bird and reptiles can be sheltered there.

The address of the fairgrounds is 1273 High Street. Animal owners should enter on Pleasant Street through the unlocked gate. They should not enter on High Street because they could disrupt fire personnel and vehicles.
